I Gave My 4 Cylinder B48 BMW 500HP + Reliability!

Dreaming of a reliable 500HP from a 4-cylinder BMW B48? I made it a reality! Join me as I guide you through a DIY turbo install that transforms my BMW's performance without compromising on reliability.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I reveal how a turbo upgrade can unlock a whole new level of power. You'll see how the intricacies of turbocharging can breathe new life into the B48 engine, transforming it into a 500HP beast.
This is being installed in my 2019 G20 330i M Sport. This DIY would be similar for an F30 330i and most longitudinally mounted B48 or B46 powered cars.
We dive into the technicalities, explain the impact on overall performance, and show that power and reliability don't have to be mutually exclusive. Whether you're a BMW owner looking to upgrade or just an enthusiast curious about the turbocharging world, this is a video you can't miss!
If you're interested in purchasing a turbo or down pipe for you self you can find them at these links (affiliate):
The turbo is from IPOS and it's called the IM450, link here bit.ly/43Gn6jV and the downpipe is here bit.ly/3JgU3va

You sir are now traveling down a dark road which I cannot follow….. until I’m out of warranty. I really hope you keep this car and daily the car so that we can see how the reliability holds up.

[@VehicularDIY]

I plan on keeping this car for years, I bought it deliberately as I had an M340i and G80 and liked aspects of those cars but wanted good fuel economy and practicality. Most of these are just getting old enough where they are falling out of warranty.

[@michaelg492]

Fuck the warranty you don't need that shit

[@fransdeklerk5013]

I have never heard of this term "warranty" 🤣 It's always been I need that lets do that.

@@VehicularDIYmakes me want to do more stuff to my 2019 750i Msport, only thing I’ve done is taken off the speed limiter and added sport plus. Now I can do 170+ in it. Definitely loved this video, excited to see what your car does now.

[@VehicularDIY]

Lol I’m thinking so too, especially the G20 330i as they give you a great transmission and a longitudinally mounted RWD platform and modern tech for under 30K used. They are a dime a dozen.

[@quasimodo9511]

This is actually very interesting to run into... never thought I'd see someone modify one like this.. i had skipped getting a 330i 3 years ago and went with an m340.. looking forward to seeing how reliable it is in the long run with the extra power.

I'd love to see the same upgrade done from you on a b58 engine as well👌. The work looks great and so much easier when you just watch someone else doing it (I guess it depends on how much experience you have too on that type of engine in particular). Excellent work I'm pleased with this video ! 👏

Bro i had just gotten this idea thank you for the vid

[@hectorherbert6585]

on a large & modern turbo set-up I installed on my 5 cyl Volvo 850 R..I was advised by the Precision Turbo guys to install a plate size fan pointed at the turbo set-up (from a Porsche 911 surge fans) to optimize cooling on demand with a heat sensor & gage and a 2 minutes timer to keep on cooling after the car is shut-off ,avoiding 'heat sink' under that hood as much as possible ,especially during summer or when stuck in traffic...a hood extractor louver above the turbo set-up is not too much either..I remember a precious advice from Chip Foose at a tuner's convention in NY..'no matter what your project is the success & reliability of your engine build is cooling & heat control'...keep that heat away from that engine bay'.....!!

[@themrgrant777]

can’t wait for the dyno and if you can pull over 350+ hp im Definitely keeping my 22 330I. I was thing about trading it for a M340 but will see how much power can you pull without compromising reliability because I like how this car pulls just stock and saves gas better than my 2019 Camry 2.5.

Dang such good power out of the b48!! Also, I was just wondering what car lift is that??

Impressive! Maybe thats a good replacement for my n54 in some years.
